‘APOLLO BROUGHT US EVEN CLOSER TOGETHER'

When a child turns one, it’s not only a celebration for them but also for the parents who have survived the sleepless nights, hundreds of nappy changes and many tears.

Myleene Klass and her partner, fashion PR guru Simon Motson, 45, have had the extra challenge of spending a large portion of their son Apollo’s first year in lockdown. They decided it was therefore of utmost importance to mark the occasion with a small socially distanced party in their seven-bedroom north London home.

Just a couple of days after the party, we caught up with Myleene, 42, who also has daughters Ava, 12, and nine-year-old Hero from a previous marriage, and she is clearly in a love bubble. Since meeting Simon – who has a girl and a boy from a previous marriage – on a blind date five years ago, she has been blissfully happy. Her life has become more perfect than she ever would have imagined.

Here, Myleene tells us all about her thoughts on getting married again, the possibility of having another baby and her love for her blended family...

How was Apollo’s first birthday party?
